[US Entertainment] Actor

For the first time, Ebert suffered from insomnia.

His sleep quality has always been good, especially when filming. The double torture of the mind and the body can always make him fall into a deep sleep within 1 minute of lying on the bed, especially when he is particularly tired or relaxed—such as After the movie was finished, when all the burdens on his mind were relieved, he was able to sleep for a full 12 hours.

Ebert has always believed that this is a good advantage, especially for the profession of an actor.

He doesn't like tossing and turning just because of an award result, or flustered by a piece of groundless news in the newspaper. He hopes that no matter whether it is good or bad in the end, he can always face it calmly.

Because actors are probably the most vulnerable profession in the world. No one can keep being popular forever. They are like the craziest gamblers. The failure of a movie may keep them away from what they worked hard to achieve. Money, status and awards.

When a gambler, mentality always comes first.Ebert's goal is not just as simple as a gambler, he wants to be the king of gamblers.

Watching a movie succeed or fail is like riding a roller coaster. A calm mood can always make Ebert forget the so-called glory and the success that a certain movie brought him. When he doesn't care, he Only then is it possible to be close to success.

It was only when he enumerated all the benefits that peace had brought him that Ebert realized how bad insomnia was.

Ebert didn't even bother to think about Leonardo, but he just couldn't sleep.All kinds of never-ending images rolled in his mind, hot and dry at first, then cold again, in the change of mood and the alternation of hot and cold, when he was sure that he might feel a little drowsy, the sky was already dawn.

The consequences of insomnia are dire.

Since the filming of "Batman Begins", Christopher Nolan's attitude towards Ebert has always been gentle. There may be conflicts of ideas between them, but when Ebert puts forward his reasons, Nolan Lan also gave the same reasons. After comparing and analyzing the two, the matter can always be resolved.

Today, however, Nolan's aura was so strong that it exploded.

There is only one object of his rant, his leading actor Albert Dawson.

In fact, when Ebert appeared on the set with those panda-like eyes, the director had a "thud" in his heart, and when the filming officially started, Ebert was completely out of touch with his previous performances. When he got up, Nolan was completely outraged.

Honest people generally don't get angry, but once their anger is ignited, the fire is bound to rage.

Ebert was lucky enough to be the first experimenter.

"Ebert what the hell is your head filled with? Women, alcohol, or shit? Is this Batman? No, it's Caterpillar, Bear, or Trash! I don't know what happened to that night What makes you act such a shitty thing, but I must warn you, you are wasting your time, not only your own time, but others, the entire crew." Nolan waved his arms angrily, "Now go back to your Go up to the position! In the next time, I will not allow you to make any mistakes, play your role well, don't be so perfunctory!"

Ebert wiped the sweat from his brow: "Sorry, Chris."

Christopher Nolan waved his hand: "I'm very disappointed. I don't know what happened to make your state so bad. This is not what I should pay attention to. I only focus on the result and don't care about the process. Will you satisfy me this time? , Ebert?"

Ebert nodded: "Of course."

This scene reminded him of the way Nolan yelled at him during the filming of "White Night".And it was under the encouragement of the director that he gave the best performance in all the shots of "White Night Chase".

Of course, at that time it was because his understanding of the script was not thorough enough, but now it is because of his disrespect for the performance.

After Ebert was nominated for an Oscar winner and the movie box office became increasingly prominent, things like being yelled at by the director on the spot happened to him less and less, but this also proved how much he is today. Nolan, who had always been taciturn, couldn't help but get angry at him.

After yawning a lot and rubbing two drops of peppermint oil on his forehead, Ebert returned to filming. This time, he finally satisfied Nolan.

After a segment was filmed, the director waved his hand and called him over: "Didn't sleep well last night?"

Ebert nodded. Although he gritted his teeth and finished filming that part, his expression still looked a little sluggish. The blue and black circle in front of him made him feel distressed and haggard.

Of course, the so-called heartache is only because Ebert is a handsome young man. There is a philosophy in this world that good-looking people will always get more preferential treatment. Just like at this moment, despite being scolded by the director just now Drenching his head, but at this moment Ebert has already enjoyed the kind comfort from the director.

Although comfort from a staid, unsociable Englishman always tastes dry.

"Your today's filming ends early, go back to the hotel and take a rest. You can come an hour late tomorrow, but tomorrow's filming must be in good condition. Can you do it?"

Ebert suddenly showed a big smile, his white teeth could blind people: "Of course it's no problem, Chris."

No matter how serious Christopher Nolan is, he is only a 34-year-old young man at this time.The seriousness he deliberately maintained was finally broken by Ebert's white teeth.Mr. Director waved his hand angrily: "Let's go, annoying boy!"

Ebert, who returned to the hotel, did not go to bed as he had promised. Instead, he took out the cell phone he had thrown in the corner and dialed a number he knew by heart.

He felt that the development of the matter was a bit out of his imagination - insomnia was undoubtedly the worst sign, in order to free himself from this mental torment, Ebert decided to call Leonardo to ask for clarification.

"Why insist on letting me play "The Departed", which will obviously harm your interests?" As soon as the call was made, Ebert asked Leonardo straight to the point.

The response from the other end of the phone came very slowly: "How do you know, it seems that your manager's ability to listen to news is much stronger..."

After talking a lot, Leonardo's answer never got to the point, at least those were not what Ebert wanted.

He just wants a reason.

After Leonardo finally stopped his speech like a speech, Ebert said: "Those are not important, Warner Bros. doesn't need to care about me, and Martin Scorsese doesn't need to choose me as the actor, It is you who plays the decisive role in this matter, so don't perfuse me. If you can't give me a clear reason, I don't mind returning all the dollars you lost to you. "

"Whoa, rich Ebert—"

Before Leonardo could speak halfway, he was interrupted by Ebert's sudden inquiry: "Do you like me?"

You, yes, no, yes, like, like, me?

Leonardo suddenly widened his eyes, and his slightly opened mouth has not been closed since this moment. Generally speaking, he does not allow himself to have such a posture, because it will make him look like a bird. Toad with mouth open.

But at this moment he didn't care at all.

Cold sweat continued to ooze from his forehead, little by little, and soon his back was wet with sweat, and his T-shirt was sticky. Although the temperature in the room was always cool, he felt as if he was An hour in the hot sun.

do you like me

do you like me

Obviously, the answer to this question was yes or no, which couldn't be simpler, but Leonardo couldn't say a word as if his neck was strangled by something mysterious.

That question haunted him tightly like a spell, 1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes... After a full 5 minutes, he still opened his mouth slightly, maintaining his usual most annoying posture.

Leonardo's subconscious mind told him to calm down, but his actions were faster than his subconscious mind.

He suddenly stretched out his hand and pressed the red button of the mobile phone. One time was not enough. After confirming that the phone had been hung up, he pressed it again, two times and three times until the poor mobile phone produced a deep fingerprint mark. Just stopped this action.

But in the next second, he realized that when Ebert wanted to ask an answer, he actually became a deserter?

Answer it and you won't die!

Leonardo picked up the cushion on the sofa and slammed it on the head twice, and then fell on his head.

"Hi... hi..."

Leonardo felt that he was doing the right thing.Because even if he hung up the phone, he couldn't fully repeat the vocabulary that he could spell in his childhood.

Even after hanging up the phone.

If the phone was still on, he might be speechless and unable to utter a single syllable. Even when he spit out the first letter, his heartbeat like a drum and breathing like a bellows would be clearly in the ear of the guy on the other side.

Just keep silent!

Leonardo felt that if he was asked to write about his mental journey at the moment, he could write a big book as thick as "Harry Potter".

He is clearly a straight straight man.

Obviously, as long as he waved, the girls would run towards him one after another.

He is obviously a true emotional master.

Life like shit!The straight and straight guy didn't know when he bent into a spring, and what could be achieved with a wink is now defeated in front of the question "Do you like me?" His self-proclaimed rich emotional experience is actually useless at this time Can't make it!

Even in front of a simple question, he directly turned into a desperate deserter.

It's a really sad story.

After rubbing his finally flattened stomach, Leonardo had the urge to burst into tears.

Ebert was more at a loss than him. He stared at the screen that suddenly stopped calling several times, blinking his eyes again and again, and finally confirmed the result that Leonardo hung up the phone on his own initiative.
